    …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

    Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot

    a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation.

  • 133890103   eventfd: revised interface and cleanups ... Browse Code »

    Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
    the file pointer instance.

    Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
    POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
    now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
    file*.

    This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
    development.

  • df60aeef4   lguest: use eventfds for device notification ... Browse Code »

    Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
    an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
    out what device to run.

    A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
    find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

  • 9f155a9b3   lguest: allow any process to send interrupts ... Browse Code »

    We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
    as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of
    extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine.

    As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
    main Launcher process.

    The Launcher could be inside the Guest on another CPU; wake_up_process
    will do nothing because it is "running". kick_process will knock it
    back into our kernel in this case, otherwise we'll miss it until the
    next guest exit.

  • 15045275c   Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure. ... Browse Code »

    This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
    replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
    address.

    The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
    I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

  • 47436aa4a   Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux. ... Browse Code »

    1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

    2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

    3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
    PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

    4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

    5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
    always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
    before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

    6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
    hypercall give us that, too.

    Basic rule of thumb: Anything passing u32's back and forth should be
    passing unsigned longs to be portable to 64 bit archs.

    Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed
    array of them. This is no longer necessary.

    If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is
    enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id"
    altogether.

    In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
    the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
    Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

    The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
    simple additions.
